"It is not the proper role of revolutionaries to wait for revolts to fall from heaven. Rather, it is our role to help precipitate and escalate them, bringing them to the heights of their potential, learning what we only can by taking our ideas to their logical conclusions." (Radar 3, "Wait and See")

Trumps round-table described the movement to Stop Cop City as a domestic terrorist organization. We heard this before, from local Democrats. Today, we echo calls to unite against autocracy. Wherever 5 or 10 ppl come together, let fear subside and tactics begin. crimethinc.com/2025/10/09/n...

Simply marching in the streets once every few months will not stop fascism. We have to draw people into concrete organizing and activity. No one else is going to do this for us. Whether there are two of you or two hundred of you, this guide goes over what you can do. crimethinc.com/NoKings2025

⚠️ Jamie defeated her "Domestic Terrorism" charges! Dekalb Co court acknowledged the AG's office deliberately delayed the case. Soon, the RICO will collapse. Jamie's decision to push against the charges serve as an inspiration to us all. Were we all so courageous, nothing could stop us.

ICE is training dogs for raids at ATL public schools

the president deployed the marines to LA in order to clampdown on grassroots resistance to ICE. two days ago, they left--after more than a month on the ground. authoritarian clampdown aside, this was also a trial run for a coup d'etat.

This morning, dozens of US Customs and Border Enforcement vehicles assembled at Carver High School in southeast Atlanta. School administration says that the federal officers are training Atlanta police K9 units at the low income school. Cop City has been open just a few months.

Repression is not something that comes "after" the movement. It is not a custodial task. Building police centers and concentration camps, rounding up workers on a farm, are also all acts of repression that we resist. They fight us, we fight them back. It's as simple as that.

ICYMI: Atlanta exporting surveillance tech across co. thru revolving door bet. police, police foundation, private corp. – a blueprint for policing future. How does it work? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... @prisonculture.bsky.social @neonflag.bsky.social @stopcopcity.bsky.social

A large number of sophisticated discourses have convinced some people that the concept of solidarity does not serve them, that the fight between federal agents and undocumented people is not a universal struggle effecting the entire society. This is "divide + conquer" rebranded.

The movement against deportations is not destructive or disruptive enough, actually. Every single day, federal authorities are ruining peoples lives and destroying families. This cannot be resolved by the Democratic party, who helped to build these policies and infrastructures.

This is the ICE facility in Portland that was the site of an Occupy ICE encampment in 2018. People are camped there again tonight. Whether or not this takes off, the best way to support those defending their communities in LA is to find a pressure point where you are and act. crimethinc.com/ICEage

No matter how brave, how righteous, the people of Los Angeles are, they can't defeat ICE all by themselves. This is the first real resistance of the new era, a resistance we tried to catalyze in the fight against Cop City. It is right to rise up and to rebel against police, borders, and deportation.

61 people facing RICO charges for their alleged involvement in stop Cop City appear in court today. They have been forced to come to Atlanta for the new judge. A crowd will rally outside the courthouse to support the accused. Call Georgia AG Chris Carr, demand he drop the charges: 4046578733

They built it. What next?

Rest in peace Cooper Schoenke (19). He was killed in a high speed chase initiated against another motorist by the Georgia State Patrol. The chase not only took place inside of City of Atlanta limits. It took place in Little 5 Points. Georgia State Patrol out of Atlanta!

This essay provides, among other things, a close look at the April 2024 Gaza solidarity protests at Emory University. Almost a year later, this may be the most extensive overview of those events published from the vantage point of the participants.

“The arrival of the second Trump era has vindicated the decision to focus on resisting police militarization. Every repressive policy that Trump decrees will be imposed by police and other state mercenaries. The opposition that emerged in Atlanta sets the template...” Important piece.

🚨 OIG refers 8 counts of fraud and corruption to DOJ. ATL Mayor Dickens awarded contracts to campaign donors and used charitable funds for unjustifiable reasons. We have been saying this for 4 years. www.ajc.com/news/atlanta...

the entire left is about to meet the police we have come to know so well.

trumps dystopia armed with the democrats' surveillance regime.

trumps storm troopers are going to train at cop cities built by democratic municipal governments. we cannot get swept up in their partisan drama. we have to pursue our own agenda: finish reconstruction, destroy the racial state, abolish the police.

in Atlanta, a new collective in the movement to @stopcopcity.bsky.social is hosting a campaign-launch event this saturday. specifically, this event aims to orient the community around movement defense against the RICO cases and other felonies, now in the Trump era.

This is a blitzkrieg. It's not going to stop automatically. We need to focus on our agency, not our oppression.

BREAKING: After several hours of public comment in Eureka, CA, city council has voted AGAINST implementation of draconian "FLOCK Safety" cameras in the Humboldt County town. FLOCK has been a major asset for the Atlanta Police Foundation/Mayor Dickens' dystopian Cop City project.

Looking back, almost all of this seems undeniably true.

Atlanta residents have been living in a "post-democratic" civil dictatorship for 3 years. A protester killed, canvassers charged with terrorism, a bail fund charged with RICO, a referendum process suppressed, house raids, surveillance. All under the Democrats. They also showed us how to fight back.

They are building Cop Cities everywhere. The facility in Atlanta did not become a flashpoint because it is unique. It became one because people are fighting against it.

The United States is a Cop Nation. The police cannot be reformed, since they are essential the operations of the state: control the population, maintain class domination. To abolish the police, we will have to change everything. It's time to pick ourselves back up and fight, fight, fight.

My god. The Mayor of Johnston, RI just announced he's using eminent domain to seize 31 acres of land that was supposed to become affordable housing, and to build a "new public safety complex" –– sounds a lot like a cop city! I hope the people of Johnston say no!

Ballistics science shows that a 9mm handgun shot a state patrolmen on Jan 18 2023. This is not contested. Tort allegedly owned one, but it's also the same firearm that patrolmen use as their service weapon. www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

Last year, on the Day of the Forest Defender, commemorating the day the GA State Patrol murdered Tortuguita in the Weelaunee forest, actions took place in 48 locations, involving around 1,000 people. Here is where they happened:

Dylann Roof killed 9 Black people in a church to start a race war but wasn't charged with "terrorism." Luigi Mangione was charged with terrorism for allegedly killing a CEO. Roof's shooting led to Georgia's "domestic terrorism" law, which has only been used against Cop City protesters.

As we have seen in Cop City prosecution, as well as two decades of Islamophobic policing across the country, "Terrorism" is actually a political designation primarily; it is a legal statute secondarily.

A country that charges bail funds with racketeering in Georgia, funds the destruction of hospitals and schools in Gaza, and authorizes the killing of Black people by law enforcement in broad daylight has no right to call Luigi Mangione a terrorist.

Viva viva tortuguita 💚🖤

🐢The parents of Tortuguita are suing Ryan Long, Mark Lamb, and Bryland Myers (all of the GA State Patrol) for the wrongful death of their child. On 01/18/2023, 100s of agents and officers raided Intrenchment Creek Park, murdered Tortuguita, and charged surviving protesters with Domestic Terrorism.

Trump will take office on January 20th. January 18th is the Day of the Forest Defender, commemorating the life and struggle of Tortuguita, and everyone who has died in defense of the Earth. There could not be a more perfect time to sharpen your commitments.

While we're celebrating and cheering for the suspects safety, it is important to restate a basic fact: heroic deeds, inspiring acts, courageous interventions are not adequate for the task we face. We need a veritable revolution to break the back of the state, and to build popular power in its wake.

Force, when used by the people, is called "violence" and "terror." When used by the powerful, it is called "law enforcement" and "policy."

At court date for Jack this week, prosecutors continuously claimed that the alleged Cop City protester was a participant in a guerrilla theater performance in Chiapas, MX at a gathering held by the Zapatistas. At every appearance, the state makes a fool of itself.

they are offering a large amount of money to catch the bold person who shot private healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. for whatever reason, they are offering significantly more, unbelievably more, for information about anti Cop City saboteurs. we will not share either number on our platform.

The new red scare is coming. The election will not stop it. Only solidarity and self-organization can keep us safe. They will call us terrorists, a mafia, foreign agents. Do not think that your collective is safe when others are under attack. No need to fear. Keep building.

In a desperate attempt to continue to repress the movement against cop city and it’s alleged participants, the state has thrown another charge at Jack stemming from the raid on his house in February. More at freejack.co

As long as you believe it is worth it to keep fighting, we stand a chance of winning. The government has to try to win every single engagement. We only have to keep going. Everything you do to persevere is helping the fight.

Carceral capitalism is not an idea or a pattern of thoughts. It is a list of addresses, a coordination of forces, of institutions, tools, methods, tactics, infrastructures, conferences, contracts, policies, images. It lives on earth, just like us, and it can be deposed here.

The most important story of the #BlockCopCity action is not the police aggression, which was expected. It is the methods and tactics used by protesters to keep one another safe, effectively preventing any arrests or injuries. Let's take a closer look. 🧵

Ernst Concrete has been hired by Brasfield & Gorrie to pour concrete for Cop City! Call them during regular business hours to urge them to drop the contract with B&G and the Atlanta Police Foundation.

Atlanta police train with apartheid forces in Israel using university tuition to pay for flights and accommodations. This program, the GILEE (GA-Int'l Law Enforcement Exchange) program is a part of the pipeline of infrastructures and systems turning our cities into a warzone. 1/2
